I agree, Lolich has Morris beaten in WAR (64.6-55.8) ERA (3.44- 3.90) and in pretty much every other pertinent stat.
Morris was a good pitcher, but not nearly HOF material (and the small sample size of a couple of good world series starts isn't enough to get him in)
Heck Lolich is 28th in fWAR since 1920 among all starters and considering his innings pitched is in good company for HOF consideration.
Minoso was a good player, but career length hurts him a fair bit. He only had 10 years of positive contribution (yet played for 4 more not counting his "decades" stunt.) I have a tough time supporting someone with less than 60 WAR unless injury or tragedy shortened their career.
